Block #505253 is the biggest block mined yet on bitcoin with 2217.342 kB in size.

i find it very interesting that the number of transactions in the biggest blocks ever are extremely low compared to the usual number of transactions per block!

then i look at this chart and things become even more interesting. seems like somebody has been very busy in the past 30 and the past 3 days Wink




and of course the size matches perfectly:

Each block is stacked on top of the previous one. Adding another block to the top makes all lower blocks more difficult to remove: there is more "weight" above each block. A transaction in a block 6 blocks deep (6 confirmations) will be very difficult to remove.

[i am just going to put Lightning Network nodes here in this topic too, instead of creating a new one]

there currently are 81 running Lightning Nodes with 171 open channels and capacity of 142237169 sat (17297.04 USD).
source: https://lnmainnet.gaben.win/

decentralized? true
fees? nothing
speed? as fast as lightning Wink
minimum amount to send? 1 satoshi
risk? high at the moment because there may be bugs since it is new software.
